Introduction
Shin Hazama has shut his heart ever since the mysterious and sudden death of his mother during his childhood. With his scientist father occupied with research, he can only rely on his childhood friend, Kotori Izumi, the popular and good-natured daughter of his father's employer. At the end of their third year of high school with graduation right around the corner, Shin and Kotori finally begin to move forward together, both in life and in love.
Everything falls apart again when Shin's father also suddenly dies. But before things can settle down, he and Kotori learn the secret behind his parents' sudden deaths when they encounter agents from a high-tech dystopian Japan existing in a parallel universe. Among them is Jin, Shin's "relative self," who is working against the humanoid weapons Miko and Niko. As the lives of relative selves are linked, Jin has two objectives: defend the vulnerable Shin to protect both their lives, and assassinate Kotori to end the ironclad rule of her relative self, Princess Kotoko—his mortal enemy and the killer of his parents. Confronted with this new reality, Shin and Kotori must honestly face their feelings for each other, even if the world as they know it will end tomorrow.

Finally.. how long has it been? Ever since the 1st ep of the ONA was released 7 years ago i have been looking forward to seeing the whole movie.. i literally watched the 1st ep on release day and it instantly got me hooked. At first i thought they'll release an entire anime but later i found out itll only be a movie... I dunno why i waited so long to watch the whole movie despite being so eager to watch but welp it is what it is...
I remember when i watched the ep 1 of the ONA i instantly fell in love with the plot and the overall concept.. animation might be a little weak but aside from that i loved it..
Short Comprehensive Review
After all these years finally watching this felt so wholesome and nostalgic.. id admit, it had lowkey unlimited potential but failed to utilise it.. they sort…

this movie definitely shatters expectations... for the worse.
History and plot: Relative Words has a plot that at first seems to be very good and interesting, which caused me a particular expectation. However, about halfway through the film, he starts to take a different path than he seems. And I speak with dissatisfaction that this course is completely dull and cliché. However, these clichés could be well executed and make a decent film, which is not the case here.
Characters: The story is completely uninteresting and lazy, clinging to the script's obvious conveniences. Not to mention the many plot holes present in the film's fictional universe. As far as the characters are concerned, the anime film also fails abruptly. in which the characters manage to be absurdly uninteresting and po…

The story was very confusing in the beggining but I liked the plot. 2 Japan's and if someone dies in 1 of them both of the people die. I like how Shins friend is himself from the other Japan. I dislike how that girl was brought back to life tho. The CGI was ehh idk is I even CGI? I think its 3d. Either way first 3d anime I've seen:D story seems cool, but I just didint like it much, and I'm tired. I skipped a lot of this anime because I just didint enjoy it much. I skipped from the halfway point to the end a bit. Overall I didint really care much for this CGI movie. This was the first CGI movie I've seen^-^/

This had one interesting idea, but the movie's execution left me cold on just about every level. The plot stumbles from one messy development to the next, growing increasingly incoherent and picking up worn-out genre tropes as it hurtles downhill. The kernel of what could have been an interesting story ultimately ditches its strongest conflict halfway, and then contents itself with super-powered shonen fight scenes for the rest of its runtime. The director's attempts to inject pace and drama into the proceedings are continually undone by CG characters that unintentionally feel as lifeless as the intentionally uncanny cyborgs from Ghost in the Shell. Individual elements of the production (voice acting, music, direction) seem okay in isolation, but nothing gels, resulting in a weirdly detach…

In one overly lengthy sentence:
A somewhat non-directional and puzzling plot inception carried by my morbid curiosity along with interest in genres tagged, followed by a promising and intriguing development of the storytelling and, hence, natural inveiglement, proceeded to build up to a painful, messy, nonsensical climax finished by another perplexing conclusion, having only real thing accomplishing a recurring and completed cycle of utter confusion, resulting in dissatisfied feeling and a subpar, under average grade as modestly presented by yours truly.
Thank you for reading my sentence which I made as bewildering as possible, just like how was the film.
P.S. CGI SUCKED.

Story: 7/10
The story itself is interesting and the concepts are very well thought out considering most sci-fi stories can be confusing to understand. One thing I liked was the idea of multiple worlds or parallel worlds and the thought of them actually existing as depicted in the anime made me think it could be real one day. The main characters counterparts in the other world reach out to the characters in our perspective of the normal world and work together to so…

Warning: May contain some spoilers.
The idea for the anime was actually good. The execution of said idea - not so good.
3D animation was surprisingly great, but stiff when it comes to character emotions and movement when put in a situation outside of a battle.
Enemies were way too easy to defeat. I absolutely hate it when initially strong enemies suddenly turn into an useless existence, whose main purpose is to make the "good guys" stand out and polish their hero image. I don't think some creators understand the importance of a good "bad guy" image, which was missing here entirely.
Another disappointment was the fact that with such power and endless possibilities in the hands of both worlds this could have gone to a much better direction plot-wise and actually make the anime worlds bet…

Spoiler free article: A short description that's just a bit longer than normal synopsis to give you rough idea what to expect from this anime. Conclusion for TL;DR at the end of the articles.
My Score: 4/10 (Underwhelming anime)
Reading time: 2 minutes read
Guilty pleasure are the words that crossed my mind the first time I think about this anime, objectively, it's bad all across the board, the story, the visuals, the audio experience, everything, but still enjoyable nonetheless. The story are rather simple and paced fast from the beginning, I noticed it right away when they did a lot of time skip that left a lot of details unexplained, they moved the story forward without explaining anything, not the world, not the technology, the ideology, none. The only choice I have is to let myself…

“If I had to live in a world without you, it would be so uncomfortable.”
Ashita Sekai ga Owaru toshitemo, or translated as “even if the world ends tomorrow”, is considered to be a drama, romance, action, and sci-fi movie. While this movie holds an interesting concept and great potential, they were executed poorly. It is not entirely bad, but rather a disappointing one.
Story - 4/10
Ashita Sekai ga Owaru toshitemo is a story of two people, involving two worlds, or so-called two Japan. The story itself is easy to follow and understandable. Only the confusing part is the ending due to a lack of proper explanation of its logic. While the first half of the movie is mainly drama and romance, the other half is mainly action and sci-fi. The sci-fi concept is interesting and explained clearly, bu…

This movie was, how should I put it? — A bit of a mess. It definitely has an interesting story, but in my opinion, it’s executed very poorly.
Story :- It’s a story about, parallel dimensions. It’s not exactly what is explained in the story, but to get a simple idea, it’s about 2 earths. I actually started watching the anime, expecting a romance slice-of-life with some science fiction mystery sprinkled on top, because, the genre tags are Drama/Romance; I guess that was my bad. I actually did not expect this to be an action packed science fiction adventure with some romance sprinkled on top instead. But either way, the pacing of the story is a bit off. The scenes felt odd, everything was happening really fast. At times, the plot was moving very fast, and the relaxing slice-of-life type scen…

This film, displays 3G visualization that spoil the eye. See how in the first scene, they display visual effects in terms of first-person point view. I am impressed with it, and even more, get attached with their design of concept. But, the problem then is stiffness. It seems that the movement problem of each character feels very rough, like a robot. Supposedly, the movement can be refined to a more detailed level.
In addition, the problem of a coherent story also seems to burden my mind a little. Apparently, the director was not too concerned about it. However, if it is demanded in terms of story movement, there seems to be a lot of oddity in it. I do not know, it's just that the storyline is not too comforting my own heart. At first it might look so good. But, when it began to enter the…

Maybe this contains spoilers.
begins with the story, at the time of the second world war occurred, scientists were doing research but a large study and even then had to end in failure. As a result, the incident made the world split into two. As a result of the division of the world, the earth also has the same inhabitants. The point is that even if the world becomes two, it has no effect on humans. It means we have two pairs of ourselves / twins. By having two bodies in common, they have defied the laws of nature. There is a rule, if one of us is killed then both must die. The incident caused several people in Japan to die suddenly. This is where the story starts.
The story focuses on two teenagers namely Kotori and Shin. They live a normal life like teenagers in general. but their daily…

Ashita Sekai ga Owaru toshitemo is an anime no one notices. Airing in the winter of 2019, it's another entry of the never ending list of animes having great potential but falling short due to poor executions and various different reasons.
Hazama Shin is an antisocial high-schooler, but he always had a crush on his childhood friend, Izumi Kotori. One day, with all his courage, he asks the girl out on a date. But before love could blossom, a doppelganger of Shin appeared out of nowhere and attacked Kotori with a strange looking robot. What will happen to them? Let's find out.
While the premier can confuse the viewer a bit, the story itself is pretty straightfoward and not that complicated. With the run time of an hour and a half, the infodump is quite big and done in a poor way. What bugs…
